Q —Can yon give me any Indication of what effect purchased by the
Department of Agriculture of SBS million worth of pork and lard,
as outlined by Secretary of Agriculture Benson will have on the
price farmers receive for hogs?
A—Since annual hog sales run into billions of dollars, since the SBS
million specified by Secretary Benson would be spent with the
packers for pork products, without any -suggesti«(Ap£fcke < rs pay
, higher prices for the hogs, many economists say the effect on hog
• j prices will be very little. One or two venture a prediction of about
one-third cent a pound based on annual sales _____
‘ Q —Will the fact that 1956 is a presidential year have any effect un
business generally?
A—Most economists are tn agreement that tt will not have much effect
They agree the general public is more, concerned with current eco_
nomic trends rather than political uncertainties. Both parties favor
a continued increase in living standards, full employment and long
term growth Methods may differ but objectives are the same
Q—Has the Federal debt been cut during the past three or four years?
A—No There has been some talk about utilizing surplus receipts, .if
there are any. to reduce the federal debt instead of reducing taxes
This was originated from the Democratic side and concurred in
by some top Republicans. However since 1956 is a presidential
year, and President Eisenhower is almost sure to be out of the
picture, very likely a tax reduction will be used as a vote getter,
instead of a means to stimulate the economy, and the federal debt
will not be" cut. *
Q —Does the House of'fijppresentatlves ever meet in secret session?
A—. Seldom ever. However the House may hold such a session if the
President transmits a secret message; the chamber may be cleared
j of all persons except members and designated officers. Or the
Speaker may clear the house for a discussion of a secret nature

STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS
TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION: Should I have my
hurricane-damaged cotton class
ified ?
ANSWER: Yes. The wise far
mer has every bale classified
by official government classers.
Many North Carolina farmers
are under the impression that
their cotton which was lowered
in grade by the hurricanes, is
for government price
supports. Less than one-half
per cent of the Tar Heel crop
currently being classed at the
government classing laboratory
in Raleigh is being classified as
■‘below grade” and not ineligible J
for a loan.

QUESTION: How can I keep
my from going into an
autumn pause in production?,
ANSWER: Keep, a close watch
on them. If you notice therrt los
ing body weight or shedding,
not eating normally, or if pro
duction is not on the gradual
increase at this time of the
year, you may need to “stimu
late” them. The object of this
is to get the chickens to eat
more mash. This may be done
by placing them on a 14-hour
day with lights, feeding wet
mash or pellets.
